HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The new year is closing in quickly, so I want wish everyone a Happy and prosperous New Year. I am sure 2009 will shine brightly on everyone associated with the softball team.

It was an outstanding 2008. Our second place A10 finish in the regular season was the highest in program history and even though our dream of an Atlantic 10 championship fell short, our student-athletes distinguished themselves once again as some of the elite in the conference. We set a goal a long time ago to improve each and every year so with a little extra work and a couple of softballs bouncing our way during the course of the season...well...you never know what lies ahead! I am excited about the prospects of the year. With our upperclassmen all a year older and wiser and with a deep and talented freshmen class, this year's team looks poised to do new and exciting things.

Our motto this year is..."OUR FAMILY vs your team." It is always better when the whole family is together...so I hope everyone can come watch us play this year and be part of the family in 2009!

2009 SPRING SCHEDULE

I would like to announce our 2009 spring schedule! This year features two tournaments, a trip to Orlando Florida as well as our always outstanding A10 slate.

We start in Orlando Florida where we play a total of 8 games at the Rebel Spring Games played at the Osceola Softball Complex. Games against our local rival Niagara and the powerhouse team in the NEC, Lehigh will test our early season level. We travel over to Clearwater the last weekend of our trip to the USF Under Armour Invitational Tournament. The tournament features 2008 World Series participant Virginia Tech as well as North Carolina State and Boston Univeristy who is coached by Salamanca New York native and former SBU assistant coach, Shawn Rychcik. Our tournament games are kicked off with a head to head bash with Big East Conference member UCONN on March 6th!

Our second tournament takes us to Norfolk Virginia for the Norfolk State tournament, featuring Norfolk, Morgan State and Gardner-Webb. It is a perfect tournament to help prepare us for our A10 conference games that open play the following weekend in St. Louis.

Our road games this year feature St. Louis, Umass, Rhode Island, George Washington, UB, Canisius and Robert Morris. We will welcome; Niagara, Temple, St. Joe's, LaSalle, Dayton, Fordham and Charlotte to the campus of SBU this spring. We are excited about this year's schedule and we look forward to seeing you all there!
